Re: [OPEN] Can't disable Neighbourhood Stories (Completely/part)

@Tonje911  In my playthrough I tested it, I have 4 events everyday, not more than that, but I have to click on the mailbox 4 times (because the game shows one notification at a time).
If I can suggest, when you choose what do you want or not want to happen to a specific family, be sure to click the √ button everytime, even when you did not change anything, do not click che X button on the top right.

I was careful to click the √ button after deselecting the things I didn't want (that greys the unwanted things out).

So this isn't the solution. It's still broken.

Where are the settings for this supposed to be at in my game folders? No settings for individual options on Neighbourhood Stories exist in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 in Options.ini (just an option for storyprogressioneffects = 1 or 0 but that is probably related to the setting available in game options).

So the options given to us in Manage Households accessed via the Worlds menu don't appear to be doing anything as far as my game settings are concerned. Should these options not appear in Options.ini as well if they actually did something?

@khitteh I'm guessing they are saved with the save game so you can set them individually per save (like the age settings for example)

Ahhh *sounds of frustration*

Could they maybe make us an option for global settings affecting all savegames in game options? With individual settings like in world menu (so global ability to turn off death or leave job or whatever). People who want it per game could just keep that option unchecked. Devs please pop in and comment on this.

And in meantime anyone know why the individual settings accessed via world menu don't work?

There's a really good post about how settings work on the forums by SimGuru Nate: NEIGHBORHOOD STORIES SYSTEM - From the Neighborhood to the World .

It says that settings are per saved game: "Like other game options, Neighborhood Stories configurations exist on a per-save basis. Because each of your saves has its own settings, you can switch back and forth between them without having to re-configure anything. Just load up and let the stories roll!"

Not sure if this helps.

In my save when I turn things off, they're staying turned off, and I spent the first day turning things on and off a lot.
